25CN-NBOMe, a substance related to LSD, readily crosses the blood-brain barrier in rats. After a 5 mg/kg dose, drug concentration peaked in blood and brain at 1 hour, with half-lives of 1.88 and 2.28 hours. The drug is classified as toxicity category 3, with a lethal dose of 300 mg/kg and an estimated LD50 of 200 mg/kg. Histological findings suggest acute cardiovascular arrest from malignant arrhythmia at lethal doses. A 5 mg/kg dose reduced body temperature in individually housed rats. Lower doses (0.2 and 1 mg/kg) reduced locomotor activity and increased anxiety, while 5 mg/kg also impaired sensorimotor gating. The drug's behavioral effects are comparable to other NBOMes.
